Josh Tillman, a.k.a. Father John Misty, drops a new video for one of my favorite tracks from his new album, which dropped earlier this year. It's an interesting set of visuals. They don't depict the exact story told in the song as much as they show a series of funny interactions between Josh, and, uh, himself! I guess it's kinda like Josh picking himself up at a bar and taking himself home for a night of swimming, drugs, and sweet lovemaking. Kanye himself hasn't taken his love for himself this far!

Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Reviews10 CommentsJ. Tillman, aka Father John Misty, comes through with a grand, funny, and gorgeous sophomore release under this recently embraced pseudonym of his.
Father John Misty - "Bored in the USA" (On Letterman)
New Tracks1 CommentMainstream America got its first exposure to Father John Misty’s (Josh Tillman) haunting vocals and effortless stage presence on David Letterman. The word “angelic” is thrown around liberally when folks discuss the Fleet Foxes camp, and it’s always done deservedly so. Most often done in reference to Robin Pecknold, but now ex member of the band Josh Tillman is slowly claiming his place in the spotlight. Tillman’s unique mix of sincerity of satiric performance art is difficult to decode, but always remains incredibly entertaining to behold. “Bored in the USA” will be featured on Father John Misty’s upcoming album I Love You, Honeybear. While FJM’s last record Fun Times in Babylon displayed his talent for songwriting and lyricism, his vocals were unfortunately not featured prominently enough in the slightly muddy production. Here’s to hoping this next album is crisper than a 7 AM run through the Himalayans.
P.S. The piano is playing itself.
